Application filed September 16,- 1916, Serial No. 120,541. RenewedJanuary 10, 1919. Serial no; 2%,582:

To all whom it may concern: Beit known that 1, JAMES F. ARTHUR, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of.Dickson City, in thecounty of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new andImproved Domestic-Boiler Stand, of which the following is a. full,clear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in vieware:- to provide a stand of the character mentioned which may beadjusted to vary the height of the same to accommodate the plumbing ofdifferent installations; to provide a stand adapted for holding boilersof difi'erent makes; and to proVide neatness of structure to theinstallation and strengthen the same.

Drawings.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a domestic boiler mounted on a standconstructed and arranged in accordance with the present invention;

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken as on the line 22 in Fig. 3;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section showing a fragment of a boiler and a standtherefor constructed and arranged in accordance with the presentinvention, the View being shown on an enlarged scale;

Fig. 1 is a detail view showing in sectional elevation a modified formof the invention and a fragment of a boiler supported there-Description.

Heretofore stands of the character mentioned above have been preferablycast as a unit article, and have been made in various sizes to provide aseating collar to receive the lower edge of boilers. Difiiculties havebeen experienced in using these stands arising from the fact that theinstalled plumbing has often varied as to height and location,compelling the plumber when installing the boiler to adjust his fittingor to raise the boiler and stand by an expedient such as placing underthe foot and base of 7 Specification of Letters Patent. i 1919,

back of the range with tremity of the standard 11-,:.toengagea threadedcollar 13. The collar 13 has a base flange 14 to form a seat rest forthe ends of the foot extensions 15 of how sections 16. The sections 16are rigidly held on the collar 13 by rivets or bolts 17 At the upperends of the several bow sections 16, they are connected rigidly with aring 18, which ring is angular or channel shaped in cross sectlon asshown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. The ring 18, sections 16, and collar 13are thus united to form a basket support for boilers such as indicatedby the numeral 19.

Boilers of this character are conventionally supplied withoutwardly-bulged bottoms 20. The bottom 20 of any boiler will set withinthe ring 18. Therefore, one size of the ring 18 made to the smallestsize boiler will answer for all or almost all of the boilers employedfor the purpose mentioned. Hence with a stand constructed and arrangedas described, the plumber is assured that the stand which he sends fromhis shop will accommodate the boiler on the job.

The plumber is also able when provided with a stand constructed asdescribed, to

adjust the height thereof to insure the dis Boilers of the charactermentioned are' usually provided with a delivery pipe 21. This isconnected by a T-cou ling 22, with the boiler. At the outside of t eT-coupling 22, a drain pipe 2 1 is provided having a draw efi faucet 28.a

objections are obviated. by the In the modified form of the invention asshown in Fig. A of the drawings, the T- coupling 22 is installed withthe opposite outlets 1n vertical arrangement rather than as shown inFig. 3 of the drawings in conventional horizontal arrangement. In themodified form, the standard 11 covers a portion of the delivery pipewhich passes downward therethrough. The valve 25 is mounted on the pipe26. A drain pipe 28 conducts Water from the pipe 26 to any convenientWaste.

Claims.

1. An apparatus as characterized comprising a base having a centralorifice; a basketlike member having an annular ring for forming areceptacle for a boiler and having a central orifice; and meansconnecting said base and said receptacle said means embodying a standardhaving right and left screw threads to engage corresponding 2. An app.ratus as characterlzed comprisr ing a base having a centralscrew-threaded orifice; a basket-like member havin an annular ring forforming a receptacle for a boiler and having a central screw-threadedorifice; and means connecting said base and said receptacle, said meansbeing adapted for elevating said receptacle relatively to said base,said means embodying a hollow open-ended standard having screw threadsfor engaging corresponding threads in said orifices.
